Hello Hello!!

Well hello and thank you for visiting my blog! This is my very first blog post and I am so excited about this new way of communicating with the wider world! I decided to set up this blog in order to chart my progress in the world of card making. I am a relative newbie but I am quickly learning on the job!

I first developed a real passion for card making after making my own wedding invitations almost 5 years ago. Since then I've done another person's wedding stationery and I'm currently working on the stationery for one of my best friend who married this summer.

In the past year, I have designed 5 Wedding Stationery collections which will hopefully be available really soon..... I'm just having a long thought process over how to photograph them!!

In the meantime, I have purchased a Sizzix Big Shot and have finally found out how to stop my stamps beading up.

I have been drawing on inspiration from various stamping and card making sites and I am ready to launch straight in to getting more involved..... I have already bookmarked 5 or 6 competitions that I want to challenge myself to enter!! Who cares if I don't win, it's card made that I can then use!!

My first stop is going to be the Freshly Made Sketches challenge

 I only saw it 5 minutes ago and already my head is buzzing with possibilities! I'm heading to my craft cupboard now to gain further inspiration..... Watch this space!!
